Curious if the #media misunderstanding the point of #mastodon will ever end? We’re 8-9 months since the beginning of the bigger migration waves and I’m still constantly seeing “will mastodon ever succeed? Why is mastodon failing?”
We’re watching the media, in real time, have zero idea how to evaluate something unrelated to capitalism. Have we lost all ability to measure something without a quarterly report?
I want to start to organize these and make an effort to refute. Using something like #MisunderstandingMastodon is way too long and sounds like trying to make fetch happen but I like it.
If it’s active here and 100k or more people use it rather than other social media it’s a success.
“more and more active social media users are choosing to put themselves out of the reach of advertisers and data collectors on the independent servers of the fediverse”
Realistically we need to write these articles ourselves and send them to journalists. The big companies have press releases — it makes it easier to write about them.
@raineer Mastodon is a success beyond the developers wildest imagination. They report that its a failure because they can't figure out how to exploit it.
